Two sets of authenticity requirements for assessing and maintaining the authenticity of digital records - one set constituting the requirements that support the presumption of the authenticity of a creator's digital records (Benchmark Requirements), and one set constituting the requirements that support the production of authentic copies of a creator's digital records transferred to the custody of a designated records preserver (Baseline Requirements)

Two sets of guidelines - based on the study of real cases - for the production, maintenance, and long-term preservation of records; one set for individuals creating digital records, such as artists, scientists, professionals and researchers, and another set for record preservers

Two frameworks for the development of policies, strategies and standards regarding creation, maintenance and preservation of digital records; one framework is for individuals and small organizations creating digital materials, and the other is for archival institutions or programs tasked with preserving digital records

Two models of records creation, maintenance and preservation - one reflecting a records lifecycle point of view (Chain of Preservation Model) and the other reflecting a records continuum point of view (Business-driven Recordkeeping Model)
